The Old Fashioned: Two Recipes of an Underrated Classic

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Like many mixed drinks, the Old Fashioned has a number of variations and a history.

It is one of the few cocktails that survived from the days of the Martini and the Manhattan. When prepared well, it is a full-bodied, delicious drink. It was one of my mothers favorites as a young woman in the 1940s and still carries the glamour of the era.

Accounts agree that the Old Fashioned originated at the Pendennis Club, in Louisville, Kentucky.

This Old Fashioned recipe appeared in a book written by George J. Kappeler, published in 1895, called Modern American Drinks.

THE OLD-FASHIONED WHISKEY COCKTAIL

Dissolve a small lump of sugar with a little water in a whiskey-glass; add two dashes Angostura bitters, a small piece ice, a piece lemon-peel, one jigger whiskey. Mix with small bar-spoon and serve, leaving spoon in glass.

Robert Hess, writing for Drinkboy.com, cautions that it is common for modern bartenders to top off the drink with an ounce or more of soda. In his opinion, the soda spoils the drink.

Here is another recipe from Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mixem by Stanley Clisby Arthur.

Old Fashioned Cocktail
\r

1 lump sugar
\r 2 dashes Peychaud or Angostura bitters
\r 1 jigger rye whiskey
\r 1 piece lemon peel
\r 1 chunk pineapple
\r 1 slice orange peel
\r 2 maraschino cherries

Into a heavy-bottomed barglass drop a lump of sugar, dash on the bitters, and crush with a spoon. Pour in the jigger of rye whiskey and stir with several lumps of ice. No shaking allowed! Let the mixture remain in the glass in which it is prepared. Garnish with a half-ring of orange peel, add the chunk of pineapple and the cherries with a little of the maraschino juice. Twist the slice of lemon peel over all and serve in the mixing glass with the barspoon.

It is suggested by some that it is best to dissolve the sugar into a small amount of water first since sugar does not dissolve well in alcohol.

The appearance of additional fruit became commonplace after the days of prohibition.

Try both versions and decide which you prefer.

A Simple 4 Ingredient Formula To Build A Successful Business

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

There are a lot of great and thoughtful things you can do to build a business. But we both know it\’s not the things you can do, it\’s the things you should do that matter most. Better yet, it\’s the things you should do that you can accomplish with the least amount of effort. Thankfully, there are four things that meet this criterion.

There are only four things you really need to do be build a successful business - and here they are:

Tell Me Why I Should Do Business With You. If I\’m not clear on what you do and I benefit from what you do, I have little chance of being your customer. Tell me in plain, simple, and clear language what I get out of being your customer. Don\’t be afraid to insult me with simplicity. Fear me not getting it and never buying from you.

Tell Me Why I Should Believe A Word You Say. We don\’t know each other well enough for me to trust you. Convince me you\’re real - accomplishments, testimonials, awards, pedigree, guarantees, etc.

Make Me An Offer. Ask me to purchase. Better, ask me to purchase soon. Give me something for acting today. Tell me…if you do this, I will do that. Then do it.

Don\’t Take Me For Granted. Once I\’m a customer, don\’t leave me. Make my purchase the beginning of a relationship. Ask for testimonials and referrals. And give me something for them - special offers, advance purchases, preferred service, etc. Make me an evangelist for your business.

There are four things that are guaranteed to boost your sales and make you more money. Are there other things you can do? Sure, but these four get you farther to making more money than any others, maybe all others combined.

Children\’s Clothing Gets Ethical And Fun

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Walk into one children\’s clothing store in the UK, and you can sometimes feel as though you\’ve walked into them all. Behind the glass facades, the same mass-market items and familiar logos stare back. Children\’s clothing should be fun and functional, not bland and poorly made.

What\’s more, in recent months, issues revolving around whether children\’s clothing manufacturers are truly ethical have come to light. These issues has lead many shoppers to embrace small, independent businesses.

One company offering fun, ethical children\’s clothing is Sgt. Smith, established in 2006 by women\’s fashion designer, Vicki Smith. Her sales sky-rocketed after she embraced the online marketplace and has since become one of internet\’s best kept not-so-secrets. Her clothing is made from locally-sourced fabrics and its bright colors and inspired, humorous imagery are increasing in popularity all the time. Customers are obviously responding to innovation and Sgt Smith\’s unique and fashionable designs, most of which can be personalized are capturing the imagination of everyone looking for children\’s clothing.

But Sgt Smith isn\’t the only successful and ethical small business making a name for itself on the internet with fun and ethical children\’s clothing. Among other recent successes are the organic children\’s clothing products provided by companies like Lily Miller and Poppy & Iris. The children\’s clothing products from Animal Tails are all \”ethically manufactured and fairly traded, as well as being organic\” and a portion of all of their profits goes towards saving endangered species in Africa.

There is definitely more and more interest being demonstrated in the organic and fair trade clothing available on the world wide web and customers are now looking for good quality fashion that comes guilt free. Supporting these small businesses is becoming seen as vital in the drive to keep kids looking good, while their parents feel good too.

In the current climate, when we\’re all more conscious of the effects that our actions have on the environment, as well as the influence that big businesses have on our lives, it\’s refreshing to find that the internet has created a forum for companies with both strong ethics and talented designers. Sites like notonthehighstreet.com enable shoppers to be confident about the origin of your children\’s clothing, and companies like those mentioned above can all be found in children\’s clothing at notontheighstreet.com

Home Remodeling Ideas The Finishing Touches

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Building homes breaks down to several different parts. While larger chunks get the best inspection, smaller areas, those that add significance later on, tend to get ignored. These are the home remodeling ideas addition, the accessories, which might not contribute to the actual structural integrity or operation can simply add a huge factor regarding the flavor and the livability of the place. So ask yourself often: have I covered all the essentials in the designs feasibly? What types of accessories would match the specific decorating theme? What other accessory options are available? And how can I translate the homes overall style to a particular room in the house?

Take note that attention to detail gets bigger returns in the long run. These apparently insignificant details along the guide could very well make significant differences in several key locations. in particular areas. Small entries like a mini exhaust port in the corner of the room as well as above the stove may be illogical but it keeps the air cooking smoke free in the feasibility process. The right home remodeling ideas addition should be chosen and used carefully before it can add feelings to a room in an instant.

Its also been a principle that: accessorizing according to function is best served identical. Having three sets of identical loungers arranged in a martial way is better than the haphazard function with several un-identical items. Such notion is gone these modern days. Always work around the principle of accessorizing not by uniformity but by comfort and aesthetic, even if dissimilar. Add personality to your style to create an actual visual interest to accentuate or create focal points. Hence, its important to but the best items in their best places. Otherwise, youll only end up with a jumble of clutter as if youve never cleared up all the debris from the renovation.

Also, choose the right mix and balance of accessories. If you have a Tuscan lighting, then also keep your hardware or fabric in the Tuscan theme. However if you found the perfect Tuscan carpet, dont shower your entire floor with carpets just to attempt a unified look. If youll find it more convenient, you can easily create harmony rather by staying by a consistent color palette. That probably is the best home remodeling ideas addition trick.

But if you want a more standout result apart from the common relaxing hue of the room, then go an extra step intending for a traditional/formal, Asian, casual-contemporary, industrial, or a country style; you can even go vintage or eclectic, just the right choice of accessories and your on it.

In a nutshell experimenting designs work splendidly if you have something to pattern on. The tiniest bits and pieces such as towel bars, shelves, carpet, wall or desk clocks, lamps, slip cover, throws, furniture, side tables, photographs, artwork, area rugs, book cases, vases, pillows, mirrors, even plants can make all the difference in any rooms dcor. After all, its important to have a fine and finished appeal to your remodeled home.

Remodeling Cost

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

As urban communities gets denser and denser, the availability of parcels of land gets lesser and prices gets higher. That makes building homes entirely from scratch downright expensive and impractical. To counter the scaling of modern prices, prospective homeowners now opt instead to buy existing properties with ideas of remodeling.

A smart move that, since remodeling cost is substantially lower than the building cost of a new property. So much can be reused or sold for scraps and that can still contribute even if somewhat mediocre, to the overall project cost. Nails, old planks of wood and even fixtures and old accessories, bundled together can still heave a hefty price in the second hand market.

So from the cheapest to highest, whats the scale of remolding costs? Costs are dependant on several factors. The existing market of materials, the quality of the materials used and the strength of the currency are the defining factors for remodeling cost. While most remodeling projects are subcontracted, remodeling is fast promoted as DIY projects by popular hardware suppliers like Home Depot, and this have a substantial effect on the cost.

Kitchen, bath and bedroom remodeling is perhaps the most common route for remodeling. In fact properties that have the most chances in the customer market always rank more than average on these home hotspots. Likewise, improving on these areas would also result in a higher sale value. Exact remodeling costs are very elusive. Even if similar materials and designs are used, some factors like the present day tax, labor fees and construction length adds (or subtracts) the overall cost, further making remodeling costs estimates inaccurate. So its best to have a budget overrun by several percent, to be safe. Heres a data for remodeling cost on the three most popular rooms.

Kitchen Remodeling Cost: $30,779

Remodeling includes replacement of sink, faucet, cabinet doors, oven, cook tops and counter tops. In addition, laminating on wood surfaces of cabinet doors and counter tops, repainting are done. Also added are a microwave, lighting, and an island table.

Bathroom Remodeling Cost: $9,044

Remodeling includes replacement of a new tub, toilet, lighting and tiles, also added a vanity and a medicine cabinet.

Bedroom Remodeling Cost: $42,398

Remodeling three bedrooms, added walk-in closet, whirlpool tub and a separate shower in the 24×16 feet master suite.\r While the remodeling costs tend to differ in various instances, the data shown above should give a rough estimate, provided you do as what the estimates suggest. The remodeling cost data should also say that planning for a room remodel with only $7,000 is hardly feasible.

So plan ahead.

As nice as it is to have your bathroom remodeled, you will need to think of a remodeling plan. Essentially, you will need to decide what you would like changed and what you would like to stay the same, if anything. The problem that many homeowners face is that it isnt always as easy to develop a remodeling plan as originally thought.

If you know that you would like to have your bathroom remodeled, but you arent exactly sure how you would like it to be remodeled, you may want to think about getting ideas from others. Of course, your first impulse may be to acquire the services of a professional decorator, you dont necessarily have to. As nice as it is to have the opinion and suggestions of a professional decorator, you will find that their suggestions dont always come cheap. If you want to hire a decorator, go right ahead, you have every right to. However, if you are looking to remodel your bathroom on budget, you may want to get ideas from somewhere else. If that sounds great to you, you may want to see what the internet can do for you.

One of the reasons why the internet is nice is because it is quick, convenient, and relatively easy to use. In addition to being quick and easy, the internet is also full of valuable information; in fact it is actually overflowing with it. With a standard internet search you could easily be able to find information on whatever you are looking for, including bathroom remodeling ideas. That is why you are, at least, urged to give the internet a try. You will have nothing to lose by searching for bathroom remodeling ideas online. This is because you should easily be able to find free tips, instructions, and ideas online. Using the internet to learn about latest trends in bathroom remodeling is a nice, free alternative to using the services of a professional decorator.

If you are interested in using the internet to help give you bathroom remodeling ideas, it may be best to perform a standard internet search. If you are looking for general bathroom remodeling ideas, it may be a good idea to perform a generalized search. To get a fairly large number of results, you may want to search using the phrase bathroom remodeling ideas. If you are looking for ideas on a specific bathroom remodeling project, such as replacement cabinets, you may want to try searching with the phrase bathroom cabinets or bathroom cabinet ideas. Your search, whichever one you use, will likely return a fairly large number of results.

The results that you may find online are another reason why you should use the internet to get bathroom remodeling ideas. Your internet search will likely lead to online websites that discuss bathroom remodeling projects. In addition to online websites with remodeling information, you may also be directed to the online website of a home improvement store. Although you may not get detailed information on the hottest trends in bathroom remodeling, you will get to see what is available for sale. In fact, there is a good chance that you may find what you are looking for right away; whether or not what you were looking for turns out to be a hot trend.

Regardless of what you use the internet for, whether it be to get bathroom remodeling ideas, browse for bathroom fixtures and remodeling materials, or to buy those materials, you should give the internet a chance. As previously mentioned the internet is filled with valuable information; information that may help make your next bathroom remodeling project a success.

Eyewear Lens Technology Makes Wearing Eyewear a Pleasant and Fashionable Experience

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Modern eyewear technology gives more eyewear lenses and eyewear frame options. Whether you wear fashion eyewear, designer eyewear, prescription eyewear, non-prescription eye wear, sport eyewear, sport specific eyewear or discount eyewear there is a pair of eye glasses and eyewear lenses to suit your every need.

The eyewear lenses available today are thinner and lighter than ever before, making wearing eyewear a much more pleasant and fashionable experience than it used to be. Some of the different types of eyewear lenses to be found can include; high index eyewear lenses for people who dont like wearing thick prescription eyewear, these lenses offer superior optics in a thinner and lighter lens; aspheric lenses, flatter and thinner, these eyewear lenses are great for strong prescriptions providing better vision than ordinary eyewear lenses, better looking and much more fashionable; multi-focal eyewear lenses, bifocals and trifocals available in many different configurations for a variety of activities from golf, hobbies, crafts and computer work; progressive eyewear lenses do the same thing as bifocal eyewear lenses and trifocal eyewear lenses but without the lines through the lenses.

The coatings that are added to your eyewear lenses can make all the difference in the activities you do, the appearance of your eyewear lenses and the way you see things. Some of the eyewear lens coatings available can include anti reflective eyewear lens coatings which can improve your vision and the appearance of your eyewear lenses (these coatings are similar to coatings found on microscopes and camera lenses). Anti reflective coatings consist of several layers of metal oxides applied to both the front and the back of the eyewear lenses. Anti reflective eyewear lenses help to block reflected light, this makes seeing easier as you will get a reduction in glare (also helpful for driving at night). The anti reflective lenses also look better cosmetically as there wont be any unpleasant glare when people are looking at you (especially helpful for people on television or for those getting their photos taken).

Scratch resistant eyewear lenses although not completely scratch resistant (as no eyewear lens material is completely scratch proof) do help the lenses to be more resistant. Scratch resistant eyewear lenses are treated in the front and back of the lenses with a clear, hard coating. Mirror coatings unlike anti reflective coatings that are clear are available in a wide variety of colors to include silver, gold, copper, blue, hot pink and green to name a few. Mirrored eyewear (often seen on state troopers) do not change the way you see, they are for purely cosmetic reasons only. Lastly UV (ultraviolet) eyewear lenses coatings help to block the harmful UV rays that are thought to cause cataracts, retinal damage and other eye problems. The UV coatings do not change the appearance of the eyewear lenses.

Along with the coatings that can be applied to eyewear lenses there are eyewear lens options that help to reduce glare and protect the eyes from the suns harmful UV (ultraviolet) rays. Polarized eyewear lenses have been one of the most popular choices for boaters and fishermen for years by reducing the glare from the water.

Now you can find polarized eyewear lenses being used by a wide variety of eye glass wearers to include drivers, skiers, golfers, bikers and joggers as they eliminate glare for several outdoor activities. For driving they help to reduce the glare that comes off a long, flat surface of a road giving you better vision. Polarized eyewear lenses work by taking the light that is horizontally polarized and blocking the vertically oriented polarizers in the lenses.

Photochromic lenses change from light to dark depending on the amount of UV (ultraviolet) light they are exposed to. The lenses used to be made of glass but are now made with regular plastic, polycarbonate (impact resistant) and high-index glass and plastic. Silver halide in the eyewear lenses causes them to darken when exposed to UV light. Available in a wide variety of eyewear lenses that are thinner and lighter than ever before, with some photochromic eyewear lenses changing from clear to dark in as little as sixty seconds. The eyewear lenses can be found in nearly every lens design, refractive index and prescription with one hundred percent UV protection.

Another option in colored eyewear lenses is tints which do not change as do the photochromic eyewear lenses but stay the same color at all times. Available in plastic eyewear along with glass lenses in nearly every color imaginable. The lighter tints are usually for cosmetic reasons only and found in colors such as light pink, brown, gray, blue and red to name a few. The darker tints are most often used as sunglasses and found in gray, brown or black tints. Tints found on eyewear can either be solid with the entire lens in the same colored tint or gradient with the tint from light to dark (from bottom to top). Yellow tints are an excellent choice for target shooters because the objects can appear sharper, its also helpful for tennis players as the tennis balls can be seen more clearly.

Green tints are a popular option for golfers as the sport eyewear can help you see the subtle breaks in the green without squinting, helping you to play the fairway in low sun angles. The green tinted golf eyewear can also aid in seeing the hole flag and golf ball making for a better played golf game. Rose and pink tinted eye goggles are an excellent choice for skiers and snow boarders allowing them to see the shadows and edges on a ski hill.

Whatever your eyewear needs may be from sport eyewear, prescription eyewear, nonprescription eyewear, childrens eyewear, sports specific eyewear, fashion eyewear, designer eyewear or discount eyewear there have never been more options available than there are today. There are eyewear frames and eyewear lenses to suit every face shape, lifestyle and personality.

Trendsetting Handbag Designers

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The popularity of designer handbags is at an all-time high. Everywhere we look, from the high street to the nightclub, everyone is carrying a trendy new purse. It seems that we are often so preoccupied with our new handbags that we tend to forget about the people behind the designs. I started trying to develop a shortlist of my favorite designers, but I realized that I am in love with the work of far too many to list. The following are just a few of my favorites.

Chloe is, by far, one the greatest design houses in the world. I absolutely love their work! At times, I feel that some of the French designers are a little over the topbut where would true fashion be without their sense of creativity and innovation. Chloe has been a leader in the world of fashion, especially since the Stella McCartney assumed the helm. Her star power and understanding of classic design reinvigorated a company that was often lacking the cohesive aesthetic that truly binds a collection together. Make no mistake about itChloe is the new Gucci!

Vivienne Westwood has done more for British design that any other designer in modern times. In many ways, the entire punk genre owes her a debt of allegiance. Vivienne was just a young girl during the heyday of punk, when she met a fellow named Malcolm McLaren. For those of you not particularly well versed in your punk rock history, Malcolm was the manager of the consummate British punk band The Sex Pistols. After dressing the Pistols for a number of years, she opened her own shop in London called Sex Boutique. Punks worldwide have adopted her design aesthetic, and the rest is history.

Monica Botkier is yet another brilliant designer. Her designs are held in high esteem by women all around the world. After spending the early part of her career as a fashion photographer, Monica Botkier has certainly spent enough time in the fashion world to know what constitutes a great handbag. She is able to strike the perfect balance between function and form, and her designs are some of the most sought after with fashionistas everywhere. Monica Botkier\’s designs are famous for their detailing, hardware, and innate sophistication.

Cathy Feldman always wanted to be a famous supermodel. When she is not fantasizing about strutting down the runway with her favorite Gucci purse, she writes for designerhandbags101.com an online designer handbag resource, with extensive information on Ugg handbags, real Louis Vuitton purses, Cole Haan handbags and more.

Choosing A Wine Rack Design For You

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

A homes dcor ultimately reflects the style of its occupants. Those who engage in hobbies and collecting that is near and dear to their heart will frequently display corresponding pieces in an attractive display in their home. In addition to infusing the home with the occupants unique personality, such a display creates an instant conversation piece that will engage visitors and give them a feel for the homes overall style. For wine connoisseurs, the display of a variety of wines that they particularly enjoy can be both functional and decorative. To this end, a beautiful wine rack design can do the most to display your wine with visual impact.

When choosing a wine rack design, begin initially by determining the specific material that would most complement your home. Wine racks are made from everything from solid wood and metal to wrought iron and come in a variety of styles from contemporary to antique. A wine rack design should fit with your homes overall style, allowing it to merge seamlessly with the other elements in your home.

Functionality should also be a consideration when choosing a wine rack design. If you are content to have a wine rack that simply stores and displays a couple of good wine bottles then you should look for simple designs; these should also be relatively inexpensive. However, if you would also like to display stemware, barware, or additional items, then seek out a more comprehensive wine rack design. While these will undoubedtly be higher priced, it could be well worth the expense if the wine rack design will offer you a greater level of efficiency.

Your space restrictions should also be considered when it comes to a wine rack design. While some standing wine racks can fit within a corner of your home or against a wall, there are others that hang from the ceiling, maximizing space for those with a smaller living environment.

Visit home furniture stores and large retail stores that offer a display of home goods. You will easily find a beautiful wine rack design that works for your particular purposes. The Internet also offers a comprehensive listing of websites that sell wine racks online. You can shop from the comfort of your own home and have the wine rack design shipped right to your door.

A stunning wine rack design is a relatively inexpensive way to complete the look of your home and create a sophisticated display that reflects your personality.
